Do you feel like you have missed most of your childhood?

I guess I was lucky.. when I grew up I had a great childhood.. although my teen years sucked really bad.. I had to learn many things on my own. My parents didn't really help me with much...

It's sad to hear that a child cannot live a life as a child.. those are suppose to be the best years of your life.. and yet someone can take it away from you so fast.. you wouldn't even know it happened until you reach the age you are at now..

That truly sucks that you had to grow up so fast and miss out on your childhood..

I had the most beautiful childhood. I never knew what was sadness. I miss one one moment of my childhood. But from around 5 years...my life is dry, suffocating and.... getting worser each day. Filled with problems... And the worst is i am in a different country now, away from all of my friends, loved ones. Childhood was so beautiful... I can't bring it back.. Now, I am acting as if i am happy, so that others will feel ok. How i wish i could be really happy.

i missed alot of my childhood. there was always someone taking it from me.

yeah when i was younger my mother had a problem with my family. she made us all move away and we weren't able to talk to them anymore. i really had no friends at our new house. so i would just be at home and at school.

My childhood was pretty messed up with divorce and crap like that... But within the last year I grew up really fast. I lost my Mom and went through a lot... I don't feel like a teen anymore.

My parents were abusive jerks and I ended up spending several years in foster homes because of their behavior. So... yeah, I think I did miss something.

I don't miss any of my childhood. I was born a california girl and right away I moved to hickvile in kentucky.....I was like only one listening to the beach boys...and spent most of my childhood out there....but now I'm back.

mine......well.....cant say much.....all i can say is that it was messed up

yeah and i wish i didnt every day. my oldest sister was into drugs and running away sence i was like 4. that went until about 4th grade (im in 9th now). so when my sister whoes a year older than me would cry i would always say its okay and force myself not to cry. so i had to be the older sister for a long time even if i was younger. then my parents were getting a devorce. and yet again i was force to be the older sister. and when im with a friend of mine i see how much i missed out on, and it kills. if i could wish for one thing, it would be to go back and have a real childhood

i loved my childhood, i wish i still so innocent and naive, now it sucks, and everyones on my back all the time, at 5 you can just scream and hide and its fine. you go for picnics with your friends parents and the hardest problem for me was not being able to get the wrapper off a sticky lolly so . . . then at bout 10 i started thinkin bout my dad (cos i dont know him) and wentthrough bout 2 weeks of deep depression at 11 - insane. now im alright, getting migraines and fainting - never did that as a
kid!!!!

Yeh when I look back on my childhood I have very few happy memories, and things I have found out about my family and so on.. well it only worsens my memories of childhood.. but I do have some thoughts which I cherish from when I was young.. and I think that makes them.. even more special then those who have many... well too me anyways. ^.^
